If Only Avenue Chords by Ron Sexsmith

[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ With the luxury _ [Db] of [Bbm] hindsight the past becomes [Ab] so clear
_ As _ _ I look out [Db] on the twilight [Fm] [Bbm] my days have [Ab] become years
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] It's strange [Cm] as people were [Ab] prone [Db] to dwell _ [Eb] on things that we can't [Ab]
undo
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ And we're liable [Ab] to wander [Bbm] down _ if [Eb] only I [Ab] were new
_ [Eb] _ [Fm]
And [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] in the company [Db] of distance we [Eb] see where it [Ab] all went wrong
_ _ _ _ _ And we know what [Eb] way to [Db] defend [Eb] should the [Ab] chance come along _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] But change [Cm] is easier said [Db] than done
It's [Eb] a difficult thing [Ab] to do
[Db] And so _ you'll be taking [Bbm] the next right on
_ [Eb] If only I were [Ab] _
you
_ [Fm] If _ _ [Db]
only I [Ab] were you
If _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Db] _ _ only you
You hadn't [Eb] used up all your excuses
Now [Ab] there's nobody [Eb] else to [Db] blame _ _ _
_ _ And that's when [Ab] they call your [Bbm] _
_ name
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Gm] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ It's [Bb] down at [Cm] the end of a [Db] lonely street
Near [Eb] the moon that keeps shining [Ab] _ [Cm] blue
_ [Db] _
_ And we live [Ab] with our thoughts [Bbm]
alone
_ [Eb] If only I were [Ab]
you
_ [Eb] _ [Db] Oh, _ I [Eb] have a wonder [Bbm] down
_ [Eb] If only I were [Ab] _ _ you
[Db] _
_ If only [Bb] I were [Ab] you
_ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _
If only
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
